My apologies if I’m wearing out the topic, but my thoughts have returned again today to that fun little mini-vacation my wife and I enjoyed over our extended weekend. What do you like to do for vacations, either mini- or longterm?
When our kids were young, “vacation” only meant one thing: We shoved most of our earthly belongings into our old jalopy and headed 1,000-1,300 miles down the road to visit grandma and grandpa. That was all right. We not only gave our kids the chance to remember their grandparents, we really had fun visiting family and friends.
Nowadays, our kids are long grown up, grandma and grandpa have passed on, and we’ve lost many of the family and friends links from those days gone by. Now wife and I are in a position to plan trips to places we’ve wanted to see — from orlando vacations ot New York City, our travel plans for the future are mostly limited to money as it becomes available.
When you take vacations, are you limited to family visits, low-budget, nearby ideas, or do you have the option to travel wherever your heart and the road/airways take you? Or perhaps you really never take a vacation? What are some of your ideas on the matter — leave a comment and let us know.
